Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into TSN?

CHEAP

At today's price, Tyson Foods, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -2.4% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 6.21% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 7.4% a year, so the market is asking for 9.8 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis TSN looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Up days (1y)
50%

Tyson Foods, Inc. is currently running 24.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TSN's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 60th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 22.5%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

TSN is trading -45.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -20.3%, and the deepest was -51.5% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -9.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 20th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year TSN closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, TSN finished the month higher 7 of 14 times, with a median return of +0.1% and an average of -0.6%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.5% on average, its weakest May at -3.4%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: TSN has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 80 of 3,268 sessions (2.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.2% and -8.4%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, TSN moved an average of 1.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -1.6% and a largest of -2.5%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-16 and 2026-10-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TSN's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

What did this article say?
Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) reported a 4% dividend yield that attracted investor interest. Revenue climbed from $47.0 billion in fiscal 2021 to $54.4 billion in fiscal 2025, though the growth rate has decelerated. Profitability remains sensitive to livestock and feed costs, consumer demand, and pricing conditions. The company’s extensive scale and distribution network continue to provide a competitive advantage, supporting its status as a blue‑chip stock.
What did this article say?
Goldman Sachs reduced its price target for Tyson Foods (TSN) from $67 to $62, reflecting a more cautious view of the company’s near‑term prospects. The downgrade came after the firm reassessed Tyson’s earnings outlook and competitive pressures in the meat industry. Analysts noted that the new target still maintains an overweight rating, but the lower ceiling suggests a modest downside risk for investors.
What did this article say?
The article reviews the Q2 earnings of perishable food stocks, highlighting Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) among the sector’s top and bottom performers. It summarizes the company’s financial results and compares them to peers, noting trends in revenue and profitability. The piece provides context on how TSN’s performance fits within broader industry dynamics. No specific guidance or material catalysts were identified. The analysis concludes with a balanced assessment of TSN’s quarterly results.
What did this article say?
Tyson Foods closed the day at $53.43, up 2.08% versus a 0.6% gain in the S&P 500. The stock had slipped 0.23% over the month, lagging the broader Consumer Staples sector. Analysts noted the company’s upcoming earnings on November 16, 2026, are expected to report a 43.48% decline in quarterly EPS to $0.65, while revenue is projected to rise modestly by 0.12% to $13.88 billion. Year‑to‑date guidance remains unchanged, with earnings forecast at $3.49 per share and revenue at $56.29 billion. The market reaction reflects a short‑term price lift but a longer‑term concern over earnings deterioration.
What did this article say?
Tyson Foods’ share price has fallen roughly 23.6% over five years, largely driven by deep losses in its beef segment. Management is offsetting these losses with stronger performance in chicken and prepared foods, which could improve margin mix and cash generation. Analysts question whether the current valuation reflects the earnings potential once the beef losses are accounted for, suggesting the stock may be undervalued relative to its non‑beef earnings.
What did this article say?
On October 8, Tyson Foods (TSN) was highlighted as a trending stock on Zacks.com, drawing attention from investors. The article noted that TSN shares had barely changed, down 0.1%, while the broader S&P 500 rose 1.4% and the food‑meat sector declined 6.5%. It emphasized that the stock’s future direction hinges on earnings estimate revisions rather than short‑term price swings. No significant corporate announcements or catalysts were reported, suggesting the trend is driven by market sentiment rather than fundamental shifts.
What did this article say?
Tyson Foods (TSN) announced a full‑year beef loss forecast of $500 million to $650 million, attributing the shortfall to rising cattle costs. The guidance followed a period where the stock fell about 10% over three months, though it had delivered a 19% total shareholder return over the past three years. Investors reacted by briefly lifting the share price, indicating a reassessment of near‑term beef headwinds. The loss projection signals a significant negative impact on profitability and may influence future pricing and cost‑control strategies. The announcement underscores ongoing pressure on the company’s margins amid commodity volatility.
What did this article say?
Piper Sandler maintained an Overweight rating for Tyson Foods (TSN) while reducing its price target from $66 to $56, reflecting a revised earnings outlook.
What did this article say?
Tyson Foods (TSN) reported that its $697 million annual dividend remains protected by a 1.7× free‑cash‑flow cushion, even as the beef segment posted losses of up to $650 million. The company’s diversified portfolio, including chicken and pork operations, offsets the downturn in beef, maintaining dividend safety. Analysts noted that the dividend yield of 3.9% at a $51.88 share price is unlikely to be threatened unless chicken operating income falls below $1.9 billion while beef continues to lose money. The stability of the dividend is seen as a positive signal for income‑focused investors, though it does not represent a material upside for the company.
